I'd like to congratulate Nick, our lead programmer, for getting auto to work so quickly. While the rest of our groups had weeks to work on our stuff, he had about 2 hours to make autonomous code work consistently (3 flawless tries in a row... after a bit of debugging the original code) and it was awesome.

We didn't work on the day of the ship. Some of us stayed late to pack up the robot. Final crate weight: 590lbs... we'll be bringing significantly more than that on our bus to Canadaaaaaa!!! Oh, and we should be slightly more red by then.

Dosn't look like a ball grabber, but just to hang on at the end. I hope you guys do well, not many designs like that work! The grabber is attached to a sissor (sp?) like devices to push it up and hook on. Good luck guys.

I love your bar grabber- so awesome... looks like a very sleek robot with a low COG- We'll see you at Chesapeake, right?

Unfortunately, due to funding, we won't be at Chesapeake. But we do plan to be at PARC again.

And to detach from the bar, we obviously need for it to be "raised down" by a FIRST volunteer so we can manually unhook it

Let's say that in our tests, that "tulip" worked very nicely.
